With numerous Illustrations by A. G. Walker, Sculptor. Printed on superfine paper, cloth boards. "Miss Mary Macleod has performed a dangerous and difficult task with taste and dis- cretion. It can have been no light labour to set forth in simple, equable prose the linked sweetness, long drawn out, of Spencer's ' Faerie Queene,' and the latter-day child may well feel much the same gratitude to her as those of another generation must have felt towards Charles and Mary Lamb, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Kingsley."— Pall Mall Gazette. "Without exception the most admirable book of the kind which we have seen. The tales themselves from Spenser's inimitable allegory are daintily and vividly told, and the glamour of the old romance rests on each picturesque passing page. . . . The book is beautifully pro- duced, and ought to satisfy the most fastidious and exacting taste." — Leeds Mercury. FAIRY TALES FROM GRIMM. With Introduction by S.

Mr. Gordon Browne charms us always with his dainty pictures."— Guardian. STORIES FROM FROISSART. By Henry Newbolt, Author of "Admirals All," etc. With Illustrations by Gordon Browne, R.I.
